Call of Duty Black Ops 3rd map pack
The third Call of Duty: Black Ops map pack will likely hit Xbox Live on June 28.
That's the date emblazoned across a GameSpot advertisement captured in photo form by a Kotaku reader.
It's a larger, higher quality picture of the retail poster leaked earlier in the week, more or less confirming new maps Hangar, Hazard, Silo, Drive-In and another Zombie level.While Activision offered a "no comment" on the legitimacy of the GameStop poster. Less than two months has passed since the release of the last map pack, which is great news if you're a Black ops fan, and great news for the companies who want more money.
Mass Effect 3 multiplayer
Eurogamer reports that the much-rumoured multiplayer feature will include "competitive elements" and "will not compromise" the single-player portion of the game.
The source added there would "only be a handful" of co-op missions which have been created with the intention of being "played and played again". Sound boring?.... Sure does, which makes us doubt it's solid fact.
Reports have suggested that the online offering will come in the form of a Horde-style mode, but sources was quick to play down the notion, play down, but not deny.
Bioware's Montreal studio is said to be behind the co-op side, and was seen to be recruiting for "multiplayer" staff last year.
"Mainstream penetration is a major goal for Mass Effect 3 and those high up feel online co-op is the answer they're looking for," our source said. "EA's keen to push the multiplayer side of the game to help spread word of mouth - so it's not just going to rehash stuff from the campaign. It's going all out."
Officially BioWare's refusing to confirm the Mass Effect 3 online antics, but when pressed on the matter last week, co-founder Ray Muzyka said that the studio is "exploring" multiplayer for all of its games.
Wii U 50% more powerful than PS3/Xbox 360?!
Although Nintendo never likes to talk specs, its new HD Wii U could be up to 50% more powerful than the PS3 and Xbox 360.
"Some of the developers we spoke to indicated to us that the console will have 50% more processing power compared to the PlayStation 3 or Xbox 360. This is yet to be confirmed by Nintendo," said Bhatia.
While the platform holder has become known for releasing lower-powered hardware at a low cost, Nintendo boss Satoru Iwata has already admitted that the Wii U hardware isn't going to be cheap, suggesting there will indeed be some serious power under its hood.

Minecraft Sales Hit 2.5 Million
It's hard to believe that the original PC version of indie sandbox game sensation Minecraft has sold over 2.5 million copies -- and it isn't even officially released yet. That's a whole lot of tree punching and creeper exploding. Minecraft creator Markus "Notch" Persson posted the staggering but not surprising bit of news on his Twitter feed before embarking on a post-E3 vacation this week.
The announcement comes hot on the heels of some major Minecraft-related developments unveiled at E3, including plans for an exclusive Xbox 360 version of the game featuring Kinect support and a portable "Pocket Edition" for Xperia PLAY.
